There are many situations where you might find yourself in the middle of a conflict and want or need to intervene to support the parties to create a more collaborative, solution-focused space.
In this 2-part training you will learn about mediation principles, conflict resolution skills and strategies you can apply in a variety of settings where conducting a formal mediation process is not possible, appropriate or necessary, but a structured and skilful intervention will be helpful.
Learning outcomes
During this 2-part training, participants will gain:
- an understanding of conflict and different conflict resolution approaches, including mediation
- an understanding of your own response to conflict and how to manage this
- a structured conflict resolution and negotiation process to help achieve positive outcomes that can be applied in a range of different settings
- strategies and micro skills to implement a collaborative and solution-focused approach to conflict management
- strategies and micro skills to use in ‘ad hoc’ conflict situations
- strategies and micro skills to use in scenarios where pre-planning is possible
- self-care strategies and ways to manage the emotional impacts of being involved in conflict.
